  • how do you strip a Fix-G hub? Is the belt drive sprocket particularly thin?

    (I have been using a Fix G for a year, brakeless, with a 7mm base cog and it still looks like new)

    In respond to this, I've gathered more information from my friend whom was servicing his belter.

    The sprocket wasn't exactly thin but it did managed to cause damage to the spindle, creating a play which get worse, the problem is that the spindle is aluminium, so like those high end road hubs, the sprocket will dig in the spindle.

    Here's some photos;

    As you can see the sprocket have cause damage to the body, which is a shame as the Fixed-G hubs is a great idea let down by the fact it use an alu spindle.

    We replaced his entire drivetrain with the aforementioned new threaded centertrack fixed sprocket (+ belt and beltring), which mean he can able to run a conventional hubs with the new system.
